t-mobile's coverage is steadily getting *better*, not worse.


Unfortunately, T-mobile was abandonned for a few years, while waiting to
be absorbed into AT&T, and AT&T didn't want t-mobile to fix areas where
AT&T had existing coverage.


there was no abandonment.

Once the merger was killed, then t-mobile had no choice but to fend for
its survival and start investing to fix its network instead to of
preparing to shutdown every area where AT&T was already covering.


that's a bit of revisionist history.

t-mobile got a chunk of cash as a result of the merger not going
through, which they used to expand their network.

they also refarmed their network so that aws is not required anymore.
